Dragon93 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Oh. My. God..... I'm physically ashamed to say this....but...Why is the retro theme tune so damned catchy!! :'( ...where'd I leave my Katana..... Try convince Bethesda to add a "-retro" command to Skyrim for old times sake :P?Shame they were founded 1986; would be an "awesome" 20 year anniversary extra :L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindinavoid Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) Not to rain on the other musician's parade, but I happen to do some musical work of a more chiptuned variety myself. I've actually been trying to make a few bucks off of it, although spreading the word has been a little hard (mostly because people tend to treat it with a "yeah sure whatever" mindset).(Shameless plug: Buy mah album!) I generally tend to try for more complex music, but I can also go super-basic if that's what you're after. Or, y'know, break out the wubba-jack. I'd be all for taking the Skyrim soundtrack apart and re-down-mixing it into something chiptastic. Or, apply the Break\Shift sound to Skyrim. I'm already considering a gag-mod that replaces Shouts with various patterns of Dubstep Wub. Heck, I'll even bitcrush the different Shout sound effects. Nothing like a little staticky FUS ROH DAH to throw that pixelated wolf around. Edit: Well, egg on my face. I certainly got to the game late! For some reason the other page numbers weren't showing, so I went on the assumption that there wasn't an officially signed-on musician for the project. Narts.

LadyAubrie Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 That theme is awesome. It's giving me flashbacks to Iron Sword and Zelda 2...only way, way better. I thought this was all a joke at first, but if you guys go all the way with this, I totally wanna play. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellmaethorion Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I love the 8-bit main theme, though unfortunately some parts don't translate well to the simpler tones.it also feels like some parts could be cleaned a bit, though that might just be my shoddy earphones. That said, I'd love it if the rest of the soundtrack was translated as well. I'd do it myself if I had the know-how, there's something delightfully entrancing about this.

Psientist Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I briefly once entertained the idea of swapping the skyrim textures with the vanilla minecraft textures. I'd never be able to go through with it so best of luck to you instead for taking the bullet, I'll keep an eye on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hipolipolopigus Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Neat :happy: What kind of performance hit/improvement are we talking? I've played enough Minecraft to love 8-bit as well as high-res textures (But not scaled-up, semi-high-res textures. Looking at you, BethSoft :dry:) :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astal Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 After a couple of days of gathering new materials, I am ready to redo my previously done sprites a bit, as I was just experimenting on what would look good where. Some textures, such as the somewhat famous log, will stay. Its go time!Also, I think I got an idea on what to do with all these umpteen billion character sprites lying around, as I cant put them anywhere really (except for paintings)...http://i40.tinypic.com/29uo8rm.jpgalso, I am now taking any requests for clothes and armor "enhancements" of this nature. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
